Night of the Demon

Establishing shot prior to Dr. John Holden's taxi arriving at The British Museum.

I got there too early . . . . it wasn't open! Great Russell Street, London WC1.

Dr. John Holden (Dana Andrews) enters The British Museum to carry out research. The location also appears in ‘To The Devil a Daughter’, ‘Isadora’, 'The Mine and the Minotaur', ‘A Touch of Love’, ‘The Day of the Jackal’, 'Colonel March Investigates', ‘The Mummy Returns (2001)’, 'The Limehouse Golem', 'Full Circle', 'Percy' and ‘It Happened Here’.

Taken through the bars of the closed gates.

Exterior shot of The Savoy Hotel where Dr. Holden is staying. The Embankment entrance to the hotel on Savoy Place, London, WC2, a location that appears in 'The Green Helmet' as well as 'I Could Go On Singing'.

And this is the same entrance now. Identified by John Tunstill.

Dr. Holden visits the family of the possessed Rand Hobart. Unidentified location.

Dr. Holden at Stonehenge, Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire. The location features in ‘The Small Back Room’, ‘Naked as Nature Intended’ and 'The Tomb of Ligeia'.

Following her recent visit to Stonehenge Di Davies send us this shot that she took during her visit. (RL)

Mrs. Karswell and Joanna visit a medium at fictitious 44 Harvard Road. Clive Dawson identifies this as Addiscombe Road in Watford, Hertfordshire, near the junction with Chester Road.

Clive sent this more modern picture of the street. Image copyright Google Streetview.

Dr. Holden arrives outside the medium's house. This is Addiscombe Road in Watford, recognised by Clive Dawson. The school sign relates to the former Victoria School which stood ahead on the right.

Clive also provides this shot of the location. Image copyright Google Streetview.

An ambulance takes Rand Hobart to The Victoria Hall for a demonstration. Identified by Clive Dawson and Simon Phinn, this is Howard Street WC2 which once ran between Arundel Street and Surrey Street. However, the road no longer exists as it has been built over.

The ambulance arrives at the rear of the venue. George Gibson prompted this additional sequence of four captures when he informed us that the scene in which Rand Hobart is hypnotised was shot inside Electra House, the building that housed International Telegraphs that stood in Temple Place, opposite Temple gardens, in London WC2.

Clive Dawson provides this image of the changed location.

The patient is removed from the ambulance. George continues that, sadly, Electra House was demolished in the 1990s and a new building, Globe House, built on the site. The alleyway where Rand was brought in by ambulance is still there, adjacent to Arundel House approximately 50 yards along Arundel street from Temple Station.

The replacement building's yard captured by Clive Dawson.

Two Ambulance Men stretcher Rand into the building. The old delivery entrance to Electra House and the side entrance for George when he was one of the telegraph operators.

A door seems to exist in a similar position in Clive Dawson's view.

A terrified Rand throws himself through one of the upper windows of the building when he's shown a parchment by Dr. Holden. George Gibson tells us that this is looking down from Electra House onto the old bicycle shed which was located at the bottom of the alley on the right hand side.

Clayham Junction station where Dr. Holden rushes to catch up with Karswell.

No . . . . not Clapham Junction with the 'P' changed to 'Y', that would be too easy - Watford Junction station.

The evidence for Watford Junction - seen through the station doors is the corner of The Flag public house . . . .

. . . . and this is a similar view now. Station Road, Watford.

The subway at Clayham Junction station.

The subway at Watford Junction station. Only one arch now visible in the distance.

Karswell (Niall MacGinnis) pursues the parchment at Leton Wood station. This is Stanbridgeford railway station on the line between Leighton Buzzard and Dunstable in Bedfordshire as advised by Elisabeth Pynn who refers to an article by John Buckledee, Chairman of the Dunstable and District Local History Society.

Dr. Holden and Joanna leave the scene of Karswell's death. Bricket Wood station, Hertfordshire on the line between Watford Junction and St. Albans Abbey. The station was seen in 'Up the Creek', 'The Cuckoo Patrol', 'Double Confession', 'The Strange World of Planet X', 'The Man from Yesterday', 'Murder in Reverse?' and 'Poison Pen'.

The second platform and track were removed in 1966.
